Weird project / track problem

[dgersic]

I have a project with 13 stereo tracks in it. I was playing around with the Click Removal effect, and am using this project to store my results all in one. So I opened a project containing only the song that I'm testing with (about 7 minutes long), applied the Click Removal effect to it, opened a new project, and used select-all and copy-and-paste to copy the modified track in to the new project. Then I went back to the original project, undo to remove the Click Removal, then ran Click Removal again with different parameters. Select-all and copy-and-paste this in to a new track on the second project. Repeat this a bunch of times, until the big project now has 13 versions of the same song with different Click Removal effects applied to them.

Now from within one project, I can play the various tracks to see how each of them sounds. Mute and Unmute allow quick and easy switching between them while playing. So far, so good.

I added a Lable track and used it to take notes on how things sound. Still, so far so good.

Last, I am trying the ClickRepair tool. This only works on Wave files, so I exported my original song project to Wav and ran it through ClickRepair, producing a new Wav file. I open this new modified Wav file in Audacity, and used the same technique (Select-All, Copy, Paste) to bring it in to my big project as a new stereo track. It's there, and I can play it, edit it, etc.. I can save the project. But when I close and re-open the project, the new track is there, but there is nothing in it.

Audacity is 1.3.7 built from the fullsource distribution. The system is OpenSuSE Linux 11.1, if that matters.

This may be due to a bug in the "Link Tracks" feature. Link Tracks can be switched off using the button on the Edit Toolbar

I've noticed similar issues from time to time in Audacity 1.3.7, but they seem to have been fixed in the current alpha version, so keep an eye open for the next Audacity release.
